Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Castle of Zion: Stories From the Old Testament It stood on one of the summits of a double hill. The hill lay on the land like two fingers of a clenched fist. East and south and west were deep valleys: on the north was a stout wall. Sometimes the castle was called Zion, which means the "Top of the Hill." Sometimes it was called Jerusalem, which means the "City of Peace." And this name it had because it seemed secure from all the ills of war. Armies had beaten against it for centuries, as the waves of the sea beat against a high rock. It was not only a castle, but a city. There people lived in their quiet houses, and carried on their business under the protection of the garrison; as they do to-day at Gibraltar in the shadow of the fort. And the commander of the castle was a king. One time there were found in Egypt, on a bank of the Nile, the ruins of an ancient city.
